Yulian Zabarylo's 'Cultural Marination' Cover for Artribune Magazine
The cover of the new Artribune Magazine features a jar of mixed fruits and vegetables, a metaphor for cultural exchange. The image was created by Yulian Zabarylo, a 22-year-old Ukrainian graphic design student at IED Florence, during a workshop. Zabarylo, who fled the war in Ukraine, wrote a letter explaining his journey and the cover's concept, titled 'Cultural marination.' He describes how the jar represents international students from diverse backgrounds coexisting and exchanging influences while preserving their identities. The cover story highlights his migration from Ukraine to Florence, his studies in international relations and graphic design, and his gratitude for the welcoming environment at IED. Zabarylo emphasizes the importance of cultural exchange and openness, contrasting it with xenophobia. The cover was produced as part of a workshop brief focused on 'melting pot/exchange/mutualism.'
